This is specific to the 1.2.1 version and we are aware of it and we are working on the problem. This would NOT normally be a problem and the only time we have seen it was when someone purposefully erased a file on the emmc and then could not boot the SD. I am attaching a PDF file on how to recover from that problem.<br> <br>From what I read in your situation that does not seem to be the problem you are having but I would like you to try the procedure outlined in the PDF. It is a much easier way to write the emmc and takes very little time. If this does not work for you then try to burn another image of something completely different like the Angstrom image and see if that boots just to make sure the SD slot is working.<br>73 Doug<br>WA3DSP<br><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a><br> <br> <br>> Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:29:34 +0000<br>> From: wb3awj@comcast.net<br>> To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>> Subject: [arm-allstar] Won't boot from SD<br>> <br>> When I try to boot the BBB from the SD card, all that I get is the four user LEDs coming on and staying on. (and the power LED of course) <br>> With a monitor on the HDMI output, nothing seen at all. <br>> Held down the BOOT button on power up. Doing that, NOTHING happens. Not even the user LEDs. <br>> <br>> The board boots fine from eMMC. <br>> <br>> I've tried re-writing the card, and re-downloading the image. <br>> <br>> At one point in my klutzing around I managed to damage the eMMC /boot partition. <br>> So I downloaded the Debian image, wrote it to the card. <br>> The board started fine, and flashed the new image to the eMMC. <br>> <br>> Wrote the Allstar image to the card (same one) once again. Same results. <br>> <br>> Same card, same power supply, same procedure........ <br>> <br>> With the BBB running under Debian, I can mount the SD card and read/write to it. <br>> <br>> This is an Element14 Rev C board, just bought from Adafruit. <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/products/1996" target="_blank">http://www.adafruit.com/products/1996</a> <br>> <br>> Suggestions? <br>> <br>> Robert A.
